I just received these a few days after they were announced. Well the fit is excellent - I am 5’1”, small build, size 6, 30 length. The fit is perfect for me, not too fitted, with just enough room to not feel confined or restricted. Way more stretch than some of the other styles. I then bought a 2nd pair, black, the fit is just a tad bit closer through the stomach (not sure why). However, I will keep and wear them- this happened with my Mavens also. These are definately not to large to size down. Length is a bit long for me, yes, but I can cuff them or just wear them kind of crumpled looking at the bottom. I wear these for work, but they will be great for gardening and most all outdoor activities that require some ruggedness.. I will be getting the green ones next for my days off.
